Becoming an adult Quote by Lillianna Blake
““She’d spent most of her twenties dreading becoming an adult, and all of her thirties waiting to feel like an adult. The day she’d turned forty, she realized that her mind didn’t age—just her body. She still longed for the same things she did as a young woman—when she really took the time to think about what she wanted.””
